This board helps you to share your walking route experiences in England and Wales... or overseas.

Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

From the top of Catsytcam - where for some reason we were hit, for the first time in the day, by strong winds - this is the fading afternoon light on the higher Far Eastern Fells - from left to right, Rampsgill Head, High Street above Gray Crag, Thornthwaite Crag and Caudale Moor.

Always good to see new pics of this classic round on a clear day - some nice ones there. Since about 1986 I've made a point of doing the Striding-Swirral circuit (or in reverse) at least once every winter. I never tire of it.
